"Expanding beyond pure data reporting and into analytics, or expanding data science, would be areas for improvement."
"BI Server"
"Oracle OBIEE only displays KPIs, but it does not include strategic objectives or display risk in a strategic map."
"The main problem we face is migrating all of the reports into the solution."
"They should develop greater visualization because their visualization isn't industry leading at the moment. The way you pull the data and see the data compared to other platforms, they're lagging a little bit behind. Also, their cost. I've got Oracle account managers trying to persuade me every day to purchase these licenses. Once you purchase OBIEE, then you have to purchase the virtualization and then you have to purchase the mobile license to operate on the mobile. It's really expensive."
"Its functionality is lacking."
"The drawback with the tool is that though it is well-created, its users are under-trained to use it."
"It is not a good product for data visualization."
"It needs to be more flexible for the end-user."
"The solution is not good for self-services, they can improve in this area."
"This product could be improved with Cloud Integrations and Predictive Analytics functions integration."
"SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform is an outdated solution that is missing many features."
"Technical support may not always be timely or effective."
"The interface could be slicker and more user-friendly."
"Its price should be better. It is expensive and not cost-effective. It should also be improved in terms of end-user experience. It requires further improvements for usability and ease of use. It should have more dashboarding metrics and much faster integration with ERP so that when you double click, you can instantly see the scenario-based result."
"The user interface should be easier to use and navigate."
